#83 - ITCHY PALM
What kind of road trip companion would you prefer—the wild, animalistic energy of Donnie from The Wild Thornberries or the perpetually ready-to-fight spirit of Scrappy-Doo? This question kicks off a hilarious exploration into the chaos each character would bring to an eight-hour journey, setting the tone for an episode brimming with unexpected turns.
Episode 83 takes us deep into the significance of this number across sports, entertainment, and history. We journey through NFL jerseys worn by legends like Wes Welker and Andre Reid, explore NASCAR's relationship with the number 83, and even discover that Drake's "God's Plan" holds the 83rd spot on the top 100 chart. The conversation takes a thoughtful turn as we acknowledge both 83-year-old celebrities still with us—Martha Stewart and Bob Dylan among them—and historical figures who passed at this age, from Thomas Jefferson to Paul Newman.
Our NASCAR coverage brings exciting updates from Bristol Motor Speedway, where Kyle Larson dominated the field. We dive into Larson's controversial comments about Cup drivers needing to "show those kids how real racers do it" in the Xfinity Series, sparking a discussion about mentorship in motorsports. Meanwhile, our beloved bracket competition "Bad Guys You Cheered For" delivers surprising results as Gru defeats Darth Vader and The Undertaker knocks out Walter White.
The Golden Trouts segment celebrates Alexander Ovechkin's historic achievement breaking Wayne Gretzky's goal-scoring record and Coastal Carolina University's fan-friendly initiative offering free concessions. We also honor Buford, the heroic Anatolian Pyrenees who found a missing two-year-old child who had wandered seven miles from home.
Paul's Weird News wraps things up with bizarre stories you won't believe—from a Chinese court auctioning 100 tons of live crocodiles to a restaurant that intentionally flooded itself with clean water to prevent flood damage. Whether you're here for the sports talk, pop culture references, or simply our trademark banter, episode 83 delivers the perfect blend of humor, insight, and outlandish tales that keep you coming back to The Trout Stream.

Speaker 1:Really, you got to go Donnie. You got to go Donnie. There's only one correct answer to this.
Speaker 2:Right, scrappy-doo would bring me too far back to some roots, and if I'm on an eight-hour road trip, scrappy-doo is going to make it like 12, because every time we stop for gas or use the bathroom, we're fighting somebody. We stop for gas or use the bathroom, we're fighting somebody. True, I don't. I don't need that in my life anymore. Like sometimes, I just want to get gas and get going. I want to get a snack and leave, but with donnie.
Speaker 1:Donnie is the animated version of animal yes, the problem is how many speeding tickets are you going to get with donnie?
Speaker 2:I don't even want to answer that because I'll be jamming out so hard, like donnie and I would be listening. We'll pick going Spotify, where you can listen to Trout Stream, but also a metal mix. Donnie and I will basically be a traveling band. Yeah, all the commotion coming from him in the passenger seat is really going to keep me awake. But here's the other thing, though. It's going to keep me awake. But here's the other thing, though. If we're stopping and you look up around the bend, you're going to see a sweet hitchhiker and Donnie's going to want to pick them up For the party. Yeah Right, donnie wants to party.

I am Harryman and with me, as always, is my co-host hi, I'm paul troutman look, we're 83 episodes in. You know what we do? We hand out golden trouts for the good, the eels for the bad, we talk about our fan voted bracket and, of course, much, much more paul listeners. Welcome to the trout stream.
Speaker 2:Welcome to 83 83, like the 83rd element, bismuth, silvery and using alloys, just like us.
Speaker 1:I'm going to give a huge shout out to our previous listeners. Let's pick out two here we got Rumford, rhode Island, ooh, and Santiago, chile. Like the country.
Speaker 2:I heard it through the grapevine that Chile is huge fans of the trout stream.
Speaker 1:Apparently so. They're tuning in, they're checking it out. I'm excited to be back. We took last week off. We don't normally like to announce when we head off, but in this case a quick explanation. It's the year of the trout and we already had a couple weeks off this year. A little behind the scenes.
Speaker 2:To be fair, to be just, you were on night shifts last week. I was.
Speaker 1:I was on a night shift last week. Yeah, 7p to 7A. You said you were working 7 to 7 to me and I was like, oh, 7a, 7p. 12-hour day it sucks, but I get it. And then you're like, no, 7p to 7A. I was like, oh, but yeah still 12 hours.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to lie to you, that first shift, so I shift. So I started monday night still woke up monday as normal, like sunday night. I'm like I'm just gonna go to bed late, you know, start getting my body ready. Nope, I was in bed about normal time, didn't even think about it, totally forgot. Got up early, took the kids to school and was like why am I even thinking about going to work?
Speaker 1:like I gotta go home and go to sleep. You have 20 plus years in your profession. You've got promoted a bunch well learned, well deserved. You're being a higher ranking person. You don't do much nights, do you no?
Speaker 2:no, now the last few jobs I've had.
Speaker 1:I don't do nights right, yeah, I was I was trying to be nice and and leave that part out of it. Um, it's a rare occasion that was a square donkey. Kick to the chest.
Speaker 2:So before moving to Louisiana, most of my career has been on nights some form or fashion.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Swings, as most people call it. Second shift or mids for us third shift for most. That's where I've thrived. I naturally wake up at 9 am no alarm. Whatever time I go to sleep 9 am no alarm. Whatever time I go to sleep9 am, I wake up. Waking up at 9 am is not good for day shift. What do you got to be there at 7, 8 o'clock in the morning or 6, 30 not good actually.
Speaker 2:When I first met sabrina, she would get mad like she'd come over, you know, on saturday and she'd come over early. I was like, okay, what? I don't know what time early is, but she would come over like 845. And I'm like I'm still sleeping. You got 15 minutes, I'm sorry. I finally gave her a key to the house. She was like what does this mean? I was like just walk in, I'm sleeping. And it was 9 am and I was just starting to wake up. She was like who means it's not nine, so thank you. No, I'm a night guy, so like seeing that bad moon rising is one of my favorite things in the world.
Speaker 1:I don't know if it was because I worked it for five years, but if I could find a sweet 4, 30 to 1 shift again. Buddy, I thrived at that time, thrived that's a great time overtime was easy because, because you can't do anything at 3 am, you can't do it at 1 am.
Speaker 2:So might as well work Right, Might as well. It was like what are you going to do tonight? Hey, tonight I'm probably going to go to work. Why is everybody sleeping?
Speaker 1:That's so great. I mean, this was pre-COVID Grocery stores were open 24 hours. You know what it's like to just walk in an empty grocery store and just do your thing.
Speaker 2:When I was in California I would do that. You get off work between midnight and 3 am. You're like I need something and you go in and it's you and some questionable folk. I did it one time Me, some questionable Northern California residents and one nurse. We both were like running into each other in the grocery aisles trying to avoid the other patrons.
Speaker 2:oh, you should use the buddy system yeah we wound up doing that, but like unintentionally yeah you know how like lodi has, like those mind controls, like unintentionally we were doing like mind controls I had a great time off.
Speaker 1:I had to go to camp, pay or pay my dues, and then we went to the in-laws. The following weekend, uh, this past weekend, we went to the in-laws. I had a great time, love going out and seeing them at a big easter dinner, big easter dinner.
Speaker 2:A lot of rivers out there. There are a lot of rivers. Yeah, you guys got across the green river when you go out there. Uh, or is it the allegheny?
Speaker 1:it's the susquehanna, the juniana, the pollyanna, the parmesan yeah, oh, that's it.
Speaker 2:I get the green river and the parmesan mixed up every time I love the fact her mom does easter bowls, not easter baskets.
Speaker 1:So it is a ceramic bowl filled with your favorite candy, normally a lotion and a chapstick and a couple scratchers because we can use. You can always use another ceramic bowl. She gets us the same ones every year, so it's not like we have multiple different bowls. So now we have like six bowls and it's so great. How about you? How was your time off? I heard you went on a very fun date the other night.
Speaker 2:I went on since we last scored. I've been on two very fun dates. One was with Sabrina, it was our anniversary. Oh, enjoyed that, thoroughly. Enjoyed that, yes.
Speaker 1:Happy belated anniversary.
Speaker 2:Well, thank you, we got a. I'm a huge fan of a wedge salad. Now I it's I don't talk about that after you're done yeah, uh, and then I like to do one-on-one time with the girls really all four of them. So it was olivia's week night, so we went to. I took sabrina to a very nice steak restaurant, but olivia got the better deal. We went to this high-end Italian restaurante I don't know if you've ever heard of it called the Olive Garden.
Speaker 1:I hear when you're there, you are family.
Speaker 2:We are family. It was very nice. They have a menu that's good for Olivia. We went, we had our breadsticks, I ate the salad. She played the games on the tablet. I still don't know if she agreed to the $2.99 or not, now that I think about it. Usually you got to pay for those games, you do. I'm pretty sure I paid for those games. Yeah, buddy, you yeah. It was also prom night in the area, okay. So we go in there and they're like hey, are you two okay with the booth in the bar area? I was like I don't care, as long as we're sitting together, I don't care, and we have a very big party. Here's the other thing I didn't tell you about, harry was I'm wearing a polo. I wear my hat, my Bass Pro hat, in the truck going there, but it stays in the truck one of the day. Polo tucked into the pants. I'm looking nice and clean. Olivia decided she wanted to wear a full-on princess dress. Heck, yeah, flowing pink princess dress. I had no idea it was prom night in the area.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So of course at one point she has to go up. She goes, dad, I got to use the bathroom. All right, we go over there. And I see all these girls are like prommed out and I was like, oh man, how funny. And what's nice is all this is going to be a golden trial of mine. I'm going to drop it in here. Now. All these high school girls, like juniors or seniors, are commenting Olivia on her dress. Stop, that's amazing, right? They're like, oh wow, that's a very nice trick, right, going over, you know, girls, I really appreciate that. It's awkward that I'm a 39-year-old man. I'm not going to talk to high school girls. I'm like, hey, thanks. But just gave them the head nod and the thumbs up Like, appreciate that. But then Olivia decided at dinner. She said, dad, I need a new hat. And I said I know the perfect place to get a hat. She said I also want to see fish in an aquarium. I know a place that has both. So we went to a local establishment called Bass Pro Shop.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's her day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, she picked, she totally picked everything. She did get a new pink hat. No leading.
Speaker 1:It was good, just rides a Bass Pro, huh we ate.
Speaker 2:We didn't get dessert. I think we got ice cream later. Nope, nope, that's a lie. She got cotton candy at Bass Pro Shop as her dessert, which she picked out 83?.
Speaker 1:I believe I go first. We will talk NASCAR later. I believe I go first. You do 100%, 100% I go. Oh yeah, yeah, last week. Okay, no NASCAR this week, by the way, but I go first. I got one for 83. I have two, but I feel like you deserve the other one more. I am going to go with Wes Welker, which?
Speaker 2:was Welker.
Speaker 1:See, that's that. That was the pause. You know it's popping out more than the Patriots.
Speaker 2:Broncos.
Speaker 1:Yes, why? I don't know. You know what the problem is is. It was wes welker. And who was the other guy? Edelman? Edelman, they're too similar. But like on the broncos, he obviously stands out. He is currently 40 told. Yeah, he's a young man, but that's it. That's all I got wes welker.
Speaker 2:He's the type of guy you you know. He's not a big receiver, but he'll look at you as he's on the line. He goes, I'll put a spell on you and somehow he'll psych out the defenders and he'll make the run. Harry, this is where I'm going to jump in. As I always say, jump in, tie your shoes, jump in head first. I've Wear 83. No particular order. I'm going to go. Andre Reid from the 90s Buffalo Bills. He was part of the three-headed monster. Thurman Thomas was the running back. Andre Reid, wide receiver, quarterback. Jim Kelly let's go more recent Signed with the Philadelphia Eagles Actually was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles from Washington Commanders this past offseason.
Speaker 2:I would have brought him up, no matter what team he was on, if he wore 83. He didn't in Washington, went to Penn State University. I've been following this guy for quite a while, jahan Dotson, but he was drafted a couple years ago. He was on my radar. I want him in Philly as a number two, number three guy. Didn't put up the numbers like I thought he would, but I like following this guy because I've been watching him on Saturdays and now it's nice seeing him on Sundays. Speaking about Sundays, I got a guy here, professional football linebacker from 1969 to 1983, all well before our time, harry.
Speaker 1:Well before our time.
Speaker 2:You know I enjoy history, I enjoy historic defensive players Standing at 6'7" linebacker, 6'7", 220 in 69-83. So that 14-year career Big man, really. He did 15 years. 15 years he had blocked 25 field goals. Well, he's six, seven he's six, seven, put gronk lined up as a linebacker, cut about 60 pounds off of gronk and say block field goals. Guess what he's gonna do? He's gonna block some field goals. Four-time Super Bowl champion Played with the Raiders as most notably 1990 Hall of Fame inductee Ted Hendricks.
Speaker 1:Wow, I mean, you see a blocked field goal, one blocked field goal, two blocked field goals a season and it's on replay all week long.
Speaker 2:Those guys have. It's hanging on the wall like the image of them blocking it. Yes, this dude's got 25 posters hanging on his wall, still kicking at 70-something years old. Good for him, dude. Yeah, I mean, he played for the old school Raiders too. You know what I mean. And Harry, I have one last one. I have one last, 83. Some of our fans may know this. The loyal fans know we're going to bring it up. I wore my special brand new Bass Pro Shop with a certain color Green For this bartender out of Brookhaven, pennsylvania, harrywood County, is Brookhaven. Doko doko doko, a Giants fan, was brought in to cover the bar as he was a walk-on in the 1978 team coached by the one and only dick vermeil, number 83 wide receiver mark walberg, invincible vince papali.
Speaker 1:What a great story. I'm so glad Disney picked that up. I think it is a phenomenal story. Vince, I've seen Vince once at a Hooters during all you could eat wings night. You're not gonna not. He was a huge fan of the wings. I did not go up to him.
Speaker 2:Number 83 draft pick. Not many to choose from, but this one is big. I think this one was the steal of the draft in 2022. Once again, I'm trying to be unbiased with this show. It's hard sometimes when your team has the steal of the draft, but N'Kobe Dean third overall selection in 2022.
Speaker 1:I just watched a video that the Philadelphia Eagles put out and it was the top five draft calls.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh Go on.
Speaker 1:And, of course, it was a bunch of guys and Kobe Dean was one, yes, and he was talking to Coach Sirianni and he just said send me the playbook, send me the playbook. You got guys that are talking yeah, I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go. You know what I mean. Thank you, I'm ready to go. This means so much. Yeah, the kobe dean comes on and he's just like you know, I'm thankful. Now, send me the playbook.
Speaker 2:Oh, come on, come on we're gonna draft you send it to one, two, three main street, like what? No, that's my address. Send me overnight it. I know you guys in Florida, fedex, I'll be ready to read tomorrow morning.
Speaker 1:Only one player has worn 83 in NBA history. That is Craig Smith in Portland, the Trailblazers in 2012.
Speaker 2:Wow, Really, we're getting to that that fine. Nobody, really. I'm ready to get to the 90s when it comes to NBA. Yeah, me too. Yeah, there's one we're waiting on. I see your one player who wore 83 in NBA I have I'm going to up that to 12 in Major League Baseball, mlb. And the first time was by Eric Gagne in 2007. Lights out closer, eric Gagne. He would come out of the bullpen like running through the jungle, ready to get on the mound. Not John Rocker status, but he was ready.
Speaker 1:But only 12, and the first one was in 2007,. Harry, I mean, there's 99 numbers to where Does MLB allow zero? I don't think so.
Speaker 2:They allow double zero because Brian Wilson, who was the Giants closer forever, who went to LA, wore double zero. Because his exact reasoning was I mean, I'll bring it up in a couple episodes here but when they would boo him he said they're calling his number. Smart man, yeah, very smart man One step ahead.
Speaker 1:In NASCAR, the 83 car raced 644 times and has two wins. One I remember actually was that the red bull car, correct, okay, and it was brian vickers in 2009 if you're talking about the vic in 09, that definitely, that was definitely.
Speaker 2:That was Red Bull.
Speaker 1:That was Red Bull, one of the sweetest paint schemes of all time. Top five NASCAR paint scar Personal favorite. After Jimmy Johnson ran out of guests, Came in got to win.
Speaker 2:Now you say that. I remember that because Jimmy Johnson said he was looking out his back door waiting for somebody to pass him, and it was Brian Vickers.
Speaker 1:It was Brian Vickers. And then are you ready for this? Now, this was a little before my time, 1988 in a, yeah, dominating performance. Are you ready for this guy's name? I'm ready.
Speaker 2:Driving the 83 car, lake speed won the race I mean, it's two weeks in row we got somebody with the name speed right last. Last week was Speedy Neal, 82nd overall draft pick by the Bills. Lake Speed. Come on, man, like how. Such a great name. So glad he got away. Why is it not more popular Like Jimmy Johnson? Cool man Tim McGraw I sang a song about him. He was a two-time football coach. You know two different guys. But imagine if his name was Lake Speed and he won seven championships. Everyone would call it rigged.
Speaker 1:Right, that would make sense. Jimmy Johnson and Cale Yarbrough each have 83 career wins. Speaking of Jimmy Johnson.
Speaker 2:Jimmy Johnson gets brought up again. You can't, not, you're not gonna, not, you're not gonna, not.
Speaker 1:Ten total championships combined. That is impressive.
Speaker 2:That is very impressive and I think Cale I could be wrong, but Cale had the record, for all three of his championships were in a row. So he won three years in a row and everybody said that'll never happen again. And Jimmy Johnson said not only hold my low shopping cart and my cobalt tool wrench, but also I'm not going to win four in a row, I'm going to win five in a row.
Speaker 1:Did you know cobalt tools existed before Jimmy Johnson? No, not at all, because we were such a Home Depot. We were a Home.
Speaker 2:Depot Right, we were Home Depot folks. Actually, I know nothing but cobalt because Lowe's is closer Right yeah. Lowe's is closer, right. Yeah, lowe's is a close thing to me. I don't own Cobalt tools, but I have Harbor Freight. Okay, actually that's a lie, I have Craftsman, but I'll save that for a later episode.
Speaker 1:The 83rd song on the top 100 is Drake. God's Plan Okay, Great song. I heard it once or twice the 83rd highest grossing movie, spider-man. Homecoming. Again, here we are I know, Repeating the movie thing is rough.
Speaker 1:Once you hit a certain point here it's just always going to be shuffling and it's kind of fun. At this point, the number one album from 1983, michael Jackson's Thriller. Such a great album. Now, are you ready for some 83 year old celebs? And I'm not going to lie, I'm going to say the few and far between there are, and then I'm going to switch it Because that list is just as incredible. So we have Wayne Newton Wow, it's not unusual, it is not unusual. Such a great song. Paul Newton Wow, it's not unusual, it is not unusual. Such a great song.
Speaker 1:Paul Simon Okay, and then the top two in my opinion Martha Stewart and Bob Dylan. Martha and Bob are the same age. Yeah, martha, she was around, you know, for she, she did have a hard career. You know what I mean Prison career. So now here's the other list I wanted to cover, because here's what we're going to have to start looking into. Here's celebrities who have passed away at 83.
Speaker 2:Oh man, all right, let's get deep on it. Thomas Jefferson TJ was 83.
Speaker 1:83, dude Tina Turner.
Speaker 2:Gene Wilder.
Speaker 1:Henry Ford, paul Newman, gene Wilder, henry Ford, paul Newman, leonard Nimoy, and this one just for you. This is where I'll end it. Pete Rose, all 83 when they passed. Of course there's a lot more.
Speaker 2:I go cry. I know, buddy, I know.
Speaker 1:I know, jumping back to NASCAR, where were we last week? Bristol Motor Speedway. We were at bristol, baby, I did actually watch it. Can I remember it? Nope, I'm gonna be honest, I don't really remember what happened. Oh, that's why, because kyle larson had a dominating race.
Speaker 2:Yeah at one point I looked up and ryan blaney was in first and everybody was a lap down. I said, oh, it's pit cycle, never mind. And then Kyle Larson came back out front and dominated.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he now has a record for the most laps led in a weekend. Good for him. He did have a fun comment this past weekend where he said Cup drivers should go down to Xfinity and show those kids how real racers do it, and I thought that was very impressive Preach, because these kids are not ready for the Cup Series.
Speaker 2:No, did you watch his interview after that interview?
Speaker 1:No. Did he double down.
Speaker 2:He was on somebody else's show Not ours, unfortunately, but they're like do you want to elaborate? He said you used to have Junior Harvick Bush, kyle, tony Stewart, mark Martin, these guys that would come down to Xfinity. When he was in Xfinity and it helped him get better and he followed what they were doing and saw what they were doing and he was racing door to door with Kyle Bush. On a Saturday I'm going to. Kyle would come out and win, whether it's trucks or cars on Saturday, but these young guys are getting too big for their britches. They are.
Speaker 2:We say all the time on the trial stream, it's one of our mottos Iron sharpens iron, I mean some of them, not Austin Hill, if this ever gets out, not Austin Hill, but any other ones. If you want to meet me down in the corner, we'll talk about it and I'll give you my honest feedback. Not Austin Hill, I'll send you the video later. Why, harry? Okay, done deal. He got out of it a year or two ago. He got out of his car and just a dude came up to try and talk to him and he knocked him out.
Speaker 1:Austin Hill's big One punch Wayne Simmons hockey fight.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so anybody but Austin Hill wanted to come meet me down in the corner. We'll talk.
Speaker 1:We'll talk, we'll talk, we'll talk. Where are we with points and standings? Because there's no NASCAR this Sunday. We are off, there is not. Easter Sunday for the first time in a while, we are for those who celebrate WrestleMania weekend.
Speaker 2:WrestleMania. We, I can't wait. So excited, I'm so excited, jinx. All right, here we go. Harry, after nine races, nine weeks of racing, I am sitting at 188 points, starting off with a dominating fashion to start the season. Harry, remember 188. You are sitting at 236 points. After nine races. Harry has won six. I've won three.
Speaker 1:you won the first three, though I won three of the first six. Yeah, yeah, has anyone won a race yet?
Speaker 2:No, we have not won a race yet.
Speaker 1:Okay, I started to panic and I started to pick all the really good drivers, because you won a couple in a row and I got scared.
Speaker 2:See, what makes me mad is my worst race is more points than your bottom two races combined. But I've been consistently in the 20s in points to where you are 35, 43, 37. Love to hear you've been hit. You've been hitting the higher points, yeah, but those similar to last season.
Speaker 1:Those two lows are going to come back. It's all going to come out.
Speaker 2:It's all going to come out in the wash. Look, as long as I can see the light, I'm going to keep making my picks and I'm gonna come back nothing like the light shining off of a shiny new golden trout award.
Speaker 2:It is time to hand them out, buddy it is harry first one has to go out one of the records we thought would never get broken. Everybody's heard it by now. Right, we're behind the curve. Probably we were following this when last season actually right, when our show was in an infancy stage, maybe early toddler stage, we followed this, we were bringing it up, but then he got out and broke his leg. This season you had the great one, number 99, sitting at 94 goals in his career, and then you have great gr with the number eight, alex Alexander Ovechkin, washington Capitals, netted goal 895. Beating the great one, epic, epic. He will never touch the great one in overall points because he still has, like I don't know, 1,200 to go.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:Because Wayne Gretzky had the most assists, has the most assists and at one point had the most goals. He had way more assists than he had goals. You're doubling down at that point, buddy. But I love the fact that the NHL commish, Wayne Gretzky everybody was following. They were going city to city with Ovechkin, because it's not a matter of if but a matter of when.
Speaker 1:And so it was great, great. You know what was the cherry on top for me? It was against new york islanders I did see a tweet.
Speaker 2:It said you wanted to get people to watch islander games.
Speaker 1:Have a vetchkin, oh the other cool thing, other golden trout, is budweiser zero alcohol. Sent every goalie that went up against Alex Ovechkin and they did not let a goal pass. They sent them a commemorative can.
Speaker 2:I thought that was epic.
Speaker 1:That was very epic.
Speaker 2:First off, great publicity, great advertisement, but could you imagine being that goalie? There was one who I forget who it was, but he had four shots against him from Ovi, didn't give up a goal and he said thanks Budweweiser for reminding me I'm not part of the record, yeah.
Speaker 1:That's great. That's bragging rights in itself.
Speaker 2:I'm not a part of that record I also give a golden shout out to Wayne Gretzky, as positive as he was as he was there. He remembered when Gordie Howe was there with him, like when he was breaking Gordie's record and Gordie supported him and went to the games and they stopped and like Gordie pointed to everybody and said this is it Like he's the man to Wayne? And so Wayne kind of did the same exact thing to Alexander Ovechkin. Side note I read something interesting to Alexander Obechkin. Side note I read something interesting who was the? Alexander Obechkin's first goal was against the Colorado, I'm sorry, the Arizona Coyotes. Who was their head coach? Was it Patrick Waugh? No, it was Wayne Gretzky. What are the chances? I think the goalie that he scored against is either the goalie he scored against or the goalie that was for the Caps I'm forgetting right now was the on ice reporter for the game.
Speaker 2:So it's like a full circle moment of like oh wow, oh wow, yeah, golden trouts, we're handing them out dude just toss them out you know, some people throw salmon on the ice, some people throw octopuses.
Speaker 1:We're throwing golden trouts.
Speaker 2:I love it. I'm in.
Speaker 1:I got one.
Speaker 2:I hope so.
Speaker 1:This one's going out to a four-legged friend. His name is Buford. He's six years old. I've never heard of this breed. I showed you the picture. He's a big boy, yeah.
Speaker 2:He's a big boy yeah.
Speaker 1:He's an Anatolian Pyrenees. Okay, I'm reading. A two-year-old boy wandered approximately seven miles from home. Oh my gosh, that's the worst nightmare. Don't worry, because Buford found him, brought him back to the ranch and he was then picked up. The boy went missing at 1108. He was found at 820. That's a long night. That's a long night, man. But Buford, the farm dog who keeps cattle safe, keeps everyone safe, kept this little boy safe.
Speaker 2:He has earned some extra treats.
Speaker 1:He earned and got himself a two pound ribeye for dinner. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I almost wanted to say I wanted to go find missing kids, but that might come off weird because I could go for a two-pound ribeye, but you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, I'm with it.
Speaker 1:But Buford on the other hand.
Speaker 2:Buford, my man pots and pans. Speaking about a big treat, harry, you ever go to a football game and get a little hungry. You know what I'm saying. You go to a sporting event. You're like I can go for some nachos.
Speaker 1:I think they pump the fryer exhaust into the stands, but that's just me.
Speaker 2:Oh, they have to Like how the Atlanta Falcons pumped crowd noise into the field, I think the concessions at most places.
Speaker 2:Pump the fans go. Hey, smell this popcorn, hot dogs over here? Well, if you go to a game, this fall for football at Coastal Carolina Harry all you got to do is download a special app and ticket-paying customers will get free concessions. Yes, I said free For ticket-paying customers. If you're in the mood for a hot dog, popcorn, nachos, a soft drink Now, this doesn't go for beer or burger, you know the bigger items, but hot dogs are good You're allowed four items per visit with unlimited visits. All they're going to do is scan your app. What kind of?
Speaker 1:world, do we live?
Speaker 2:in Harry.
Speaker 1:So amazing about that? Because you know what's the first thing that pops into my head Families. Yes, you know it's great for college kids too.
Speaker 2:On a budget, all that stuff, I get it, but now families can go and afford to go, I know hot dogs are not expensive to buy in the buns, right, right, I can sell you a dog for a dollar and still make money. Philadelphia, phillies dollar dog night Popcorn not expensive, right, once you get the equipment and everything going. Once you're even on that, I'm saying from then on that's profit. Soft drinks, not expensive Nachos. The cheese maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I think I read more times, but here's the thing. Soda is like 35 cents a cup, like a large cup Cost. I think I read more time, but here's the thing Soda is like 35 cents a cup, like a large cup Cost. Yeah, you're charging $8?
Speaker 2:No, I can see that Coffee. All you got to do is buy one canister of coffee, sell that for $1 a cup. Guess what You're set At the one pot you paid off for your canister. But I love it, like you said, for the family, because minor league hockey team here Shreveport Mudbugs in the playoffs. If my girls want popcorn I gotta go buy two boxes of stale popcorn for like three bucks a pop. Yeah, it's ridiculous. And guess what? They're not gonna eat half of it. You gotta get two boxes because I don't wanna deal with fighting. The only fighting I want at a hockey game is on the ice.
Speaker 2:And so if I go to a Coastal Carolina game, which div one school, let's go. You guys want to drink, you want a hot dog, I want four hot dogs. That's my first trip in line. And then we get back in line while I'm enjoying my four hot dogs and be like, hey, I forgot to get some popcorn for my kids. Boom, you get back to your seat, say sorry, hon, line was long. Free food. Boom, write that down. And you still get two items. So let me get two more hot dogs.
Speaker 1:I just had six hot dogs you could probably house two hot dogs.
Speaker 2:Getting back to your seats, oh, easily, like me, I could. I know the average human could. But yeah, I could. You know somebody asks you. You always get asked a random question have you seen the rain? No, but you want to see me eat two hot dogs real quick boom.
Speaker 1:I like when we have time off. Like I said, I got to spend a lot of time with family. You got to do your thing thing with your family. It's been great. But I also love when we come back and things just roll and things just work. So we don't skip a beat, dude. The other good news is our brackets got to stay up a little longer. That's it. It is time for America's voted on bracket Bad guys you cheered for.
Speaker 2:Harry, this is not going the way you thought it was going to go. Okay, this one here was some of the closest voting this late in a bracket. Sometimes you have very close voting and sometimes you have landslides. We have one that was kind of a landslide, not what you were expecting, okay, and then some that are way closer than I ever thought they would be. Our fans are wild. Harry, pick a cat for me. Let's go with the tiger, the tiger region, the top right region. Harry, we have darth vader. I don't know no introduction needed going. Gru, which some explanation needed. Just pick with me. This one was tough, right. Both you later, later movies, how you find out they're dads. Both kind of care for their children. Both evil, obviously. That's why they're bad guys. 27 to 23. Harry, who's moving on?
Speaker 1:The problem is, we're a family-friendly show, so it would not surprise me if Gru moves on.
Speaker 2:But I want to say darth vader. If you say darth vader, you are wrong. Grew is moving on.
Speaker 1:See, this is what I don't like, because grew's not a bad guy. He was, but now he's not right so now grew is moving on right.
Speaker 2:I told you not going the way you thought it would, sticking with the top side of the bracket. Harry, let's go to the lion region, top left. That's where somebody's supposed to roar. We have henry hill from goodfellas going up against one and only dexter morgan from the show dexter pretty close matchup, harry. Both have very compelling stories. Dexter is kind of a vigilante but really just a bad guy. I haven't seen the most recent season question mark on the seasons when it was eight. I finished at that. I'm not watching any of the prequel or anything else, but Henry Hill. Henry Hill is one of my favorite. Goodfellas is one of my favorite movies of all time. I think it's Ray Liotta's best movie. Love the movie to death, ray Liotta probably his best movie in my opinion. When it comes to that genre movie, mob style movies I've been at top five all time. Henry hill's character and the fact that henry hill came out and said that the movie goodfellas is 95 accurate. I would vote for henry hill's, my favorite bad guy, and with that 62, 38.
Speaker 1:Dexter morkan is moving on yeah again, dexter fans are Very strong fans.
Speaker 2:I'm a Dexter fan, but in this matchup I wouldn't have gone. Dexter, I have my philosophy. Why Dexter moved on? Because of the mystery, the novelty, the vigilante, but Harry's moved to the bottom of the region. Let's go down the page here. Let's go with the Panther bottom left. Walter White vs the Undertaker. Amc Classic Breaking Bad going against WWF. Now W One is the Prince of Blue Meth, one is the Prince of Darkness. 85 to 15. Heisenberg versus Paul Bearer? I don't know, heisenberg is just a thing. The Dead man, yeah, the Dead man. Heisenberg versus the Dead man. Guess a thing the dead man yeah, the dead man. Heisenberg versus the dead man. One's buried in cash, one's buried alive. 85% of the votes. Close your eyes, room goes dark, lightning bolts go across the room, the Undertaker is moving on.
Speaker 1:I really thought Walter White was going to take that. I really did. But hey, dude, it's WrestleMania weekend.
Speaker 2:You never know what's going to happen. That's what I'm saying, man, you're sitting there. All of a sudden the room just went black Lightning bolt. The Undertaker is literally standing nose-nosey right now. Someday never comes, but part of me kind of wish that happens to me.
Speaker 1:It's just that gong, I'm out.
Speaker 2:You're going to, someone's going to get me new shorts. So next time we see the Undertaker, he'll be going against Dexter Morgan. How perfect of a matchup is that, with their backgrounds. Now Harry who's group facing next week In the bottom right region, the Jaguar region the absolute closest matchup we've had this week we have the Shark from jaws going against this.
Speaker 1:Okay, the shark's still in it, dude the shark's still in it.
Speaker 2:The shark is still dominating against tony soprano. Oh, and tell me why. Tony soprano versus the shark and jaws is the closest matchup we've had. How? How? I mean, the Shark from Jaws could swallow the Proud Mary whole and nobody would question it.
Speaker 1:I'm holding my breath over here.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because this answer, really this is going to really predict my weekend. I have a feeling, harry, it was 51 to 49. Oh my gosh, why is it so close? What is people's obsession with the Shark? What is people's obsession with the?
Speaker 2:shark, I have no idea. It's so weird, but Tony Soprano's moving on.
Speaker 1:Thank God, you know what. We're going to have some shark fin soup here to celebrate.
Speaker 2:I'm in. So Tony versus Gru, Dexter versus Undertaker. That's the final four. That's final four, harry.
Speaker 1:Okay, I'm excited dude, me too. This bracket is flying by. You know what doesn't fly Eels, eels, got me. Eels do not fly Slimy, disgusting, nasty eels. I'm going to hand one out. There's been a trend where I try to hand out less eels. Some weeks I even convince you to say no eels. Let's just be positive. But you know what? This really bottled my rockets. That's a good one.
Speaker 1:I went to a store and I needed to look at something behind the counter or in the in the in this. I need to look at something in a case. This was a specialty store, so I would expect some knowledge about if I come up to you and ask you a question, you should be able to answer me a good amount of stuff, right? Nah, that wasn't the case. I went up to the salesperson. I said, hey, what can you tell me about your product here? And they go, it's $100. And I said yeah, and he goes. And then he shook his head at me, like what more do you need to know? I don't know. There's a lot of information I want to know. This might not be big to you, it's big to me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm a paying customer.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was just the sheer disrespect I felt. I guess I want to say Mm-hmm, because it was one of the cheaper options there and it was a whatever type feeling. I'm like your sole job is to be nice to me and I'm not trying to be like that old school like, oh, I'm a customer, I'm always right, no, no, no, I'm talking about human decency to another human being.
Speaker 2:I'm really wrong.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm wrong, a lot it was the lack of human decency to another human being that just really drove me insane.
Speaker 2:It's not hard to teach him, you wouldn't let him know the phrase of bucks these hands are free.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah and it was just like dude. You don't got to be like that, I'm just. I'm just asking questions and trying to chit chat here while we got time. You're not busy. You literally stood up and exhaled like I'm sorry I bothered you.
Speaker 2:Yeah man, sorry, bud, don't do that, earn your money yeah, well, it's not even again.
Speaker 1:It's not even the sales thing or the money thing is.
Speaker 2:Don't make another human being feel like they're wasting your time that's what I mean, like sorry, you have to do your job because I have a question.
Speaker 1:That's it. That's all I got. Just be nice to people, okay, be nice to strangers. Keep your guard up, but be nice to strangers.
Speaker 2:I know we try to be nice, harry, I got two. I got two EOs this week.
Speaker 1:Dude, express yourself, get it off your chest.
Speaker 2:Are you ready for the first one?
Speaker 1:I'm ready.
Speaker 2:Not so fast is a phrase I'm going to miss hearing. On Saturdays. Our good buddy, old scooter Lee Corso, is officially retiring from college game day. It's a day I've been looking forward to and I say forward to in a nice way for probably the last six to eight years. We knew Lee was getting old. Harry, I'm going to spoil something for you. In seven episodes we're going to say his name again, but Lee Corso is turning 90 years old this August.
Speaker 2:He's not what he used to be. He's not as spry as he once was Still putting the headgear on. Those that are college football fans that are listening know who Lee Corso is. I love him, I hate him, I hate him and I kind of like him. No matter what he's going to put the Ohio State Bucky head on, no matter if Penn State's number one, ohio State's 0-12, he's still going to put their helmet on or the Bucky head. I get it. But Lee Corso changed college football Saturdays. It's who we grew up watching. I've thrown many PlayStation controllers, listened to him commentate the old NCAA games, just because I was tired of hearing him. He is tied with Deion Sanders, harry Interesting fact For the most interceptions in Florida State history Wow, him and Deion have the most, but granted, his were like in the 50s and 60s, so I should probably before then oh, that's cool.
Speaker 2:But just, the eel goes out to Lee Corso and him leaving College Game Day. It's a personal eel, it's not a legit eel.
Speaker 1:It's not to Lee, it's the fact that his time is up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and there's a torch that can be passed of Kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso, because I used to hate Kirk but now him watching Lee Corso, it's kind of like a dad and son relationship. I've watched those two grow together and Kirk has been the guy right next to Lee, literally and physically helping him. But now, as you shift the camera to the left, you have the new combo of Nick Saban and Pat. Mcafee, I said it. I think it's going to be Pat's job to wear it.
Speaker 2:I don't know if he's going to wear it, but I think it's going to be Pat's job to be the final boom. This is what's going on. This is the pick.
Speaker 1:You also got Pat, who does the fight songs, and all that, too, when he's at the school. I think that's why he's going to do it, because? And all that, too, when he's at the school.
Speaker 2:I think that's why he's going to do it, because he can get a crowd pumped up. He gets the crowd pumped right because Lee used to hold up in the Michigan helmet crowd, cheer, ohio State helmet, they boo. Or Alabama and Auburn, right, whoever it was, whoop, whoop. He'd get the crowd pumped up and then he would throw one down and pick it. He does it physically, pat McAfee does it verbally. I think Pat takes over. Good, I'd like that. Yeah, you know. Now let me get to my second one, harry. We talked about the race on Sunday, bristol Motor Speedway NASCAR Cup Series. My eel this week goes out to NASCAR and it's going out to NASCAR for the last few weeks. But I've been really holding it in. I've been really biting my tongue.
Speaker 2:Harry, I put a TV in my garage. Well, actually I had an extra TV around. I just hung it up on the wall. I had a digital antenna, plugged it into it and said guess what, boys, I'm going to watch some TV in the garage. The only reason I have a digital antenna is for sports, to get Fox, mainly for Super Bowl. Go birds, but also go birds, but also nascar is on fox.
Speaker 2:Start the season. Why do I have to go to fs1 to watch nascar race? I don't know. Then it's not. Why is it not on fox? The other week I went to go put the race on. I was pumped boom. My tv set up. As soon as I turn on, it's fox, and it was Major League Soccer. What You're telling me? That the US network is higher for the Philadelphia Union versus whoever is higher than NASCAR? Then next week was bowling. Harry bowling had prime Fox slot over NASCAR and I'm like, so now I got to stream this somehow. That's not cool. I'm like, so now I got to stream this somehow. That's not cool. I thought about going on multiple social media platforms just to roast NASCAR and Fox. That's disgusting. That's it. That's all I have. Fox needs to do better. Talladega should be on Fox. It's not going to be on Fox. No, I think Talladega is on Fox. But see, nascar's problem is they're asking themselves who's going to stop the rain. How about you start airing the races on Fox and you'll get more viewers. Take it off of.
Speaker 1:FS1. I mean at that point, that's a paid subscription, Like NASCAR should be for the people, by the people 100.
Speaker 2:1,000%. That's all the eels I got. Harry, I'm sealing up the eel bucket. I'm putting it back in the shed.
Speaker 1:Seal it up, close it off, put it away. We're done with that nastiness, that ickiness. I'm having so much fun, dude. I really am. I'm having a blast. I mean, this is just real talk. We're going to keep it in the show. I am having a lot of fun. It's always good to hop back in the driver's seat and just pick up like we never even took off. But it is time to take off to America's favorite segment, PWN. Paul's Weird News here is your host, paul.
Speaker 2:Thanks for that. Shout out out here on the streets Harry Boy, do I got doozy for you? Harry, hop on that airplane. Let's go Me and you a little Cessna long trip over to China where a court is auctioning off 100 tons product for roughly one half of a million US dollars. But the winner must pick up the lot at their own risk. Okay, for the third time the Chinese court is trying to auction off 100 tons of live crocodiles, since they acquired them from a bankrupt company. They're struggling to find any interested bidders for these predators. That's a lot of a lot of crocodiles.
Speaker 1:Do you have a rough estimate on how many crocodiles that is?
Speaker 2:well, the people's court announced not the people's court, but it's chinese people's Court. But it's the Chinese People's Court, right, not People's Court? On daytime TV Announced the questionable auction of roughly two 500 beasts. The article says beasts Beast Was started at four million Yen. Four million, it's not yen Four million, chinese monies or 550,000. After the two prior auctions got no bites, first of they use the term no bites on an auction for crocodiles that's choice wording very choice wording sounds like something I would have wrote.
Speaker 1:They got no nibbles on that one what do you do with that amount of crocodiles, though? That's a problem.
Speaker 2:It was a farm that went bankrupt, but how do you? Transport 200 to 500 crocodiles. That's a 300 crocodile range.
Speaker 1:That's a big range actually. Now that you put it like that, I don't like how big that range is.
Speaker 2:Right, the range is bigger than the smallest number. Yeah, I don't like that at all. How many fists? How many fists am I going to get, harry, when you punch me in the face? How many times you gonna hit me? Uh, one to 14 times, that's a lot.
Speaker 1:That's right. I don't like one.
Speaker 2:I don't like this, I can deal with 14. 14? No, that's a lot of boots. But here's the thing In China, the crocodiles and I did some research on this. They're a top commodity there because they're using more than 100 products. Stop counting Over 100 products ranging from makeup to wine.
Speaker 1:What is that process?
Speaker 2:I don't know, but are you filtering through their leather? Because I've heard of alligator boots, but what if you had crocodile boots?
Speaker 1:Is that a? Thing?
Speaker 2:I don, because like I've heard of alligator boots, but what if you had crocodile?
Speaker 1:boots. Is that a thing I don't know? I don't want to sound like I'm here, but listen hear me out harry, we're gonna start a trend. Do you want alligator crocodile?
Speaker 2:for what boots? I mean crocodile. I think. Okay, I'll get alligator. So that way, there, you can say see you later, alligator, and I'll say seen a wild crocodile oh, big brain, move big brain boom I like it that's what we're doing. We're gonna go buy all these crocodiles and make a bunch of boots. Well, you need at least three crocodiles for my feet. That's why we're buying 200 to 500 crocodiles, so we each have a couple pairs of boots. I just want to meet the guy that has to transport all these yeah, now I.
Speaker 1:Now I see why transport at your own risk. Well, how many am I transporting we?
Speaker 2:don't know, no idea.
Speaker 1:You can count them if you want. I'll take your word for it. You forgot one. No, I'm good, you keep it, keep it.
Speaker 2:Now let's get back on that Cessna here. I put gas in it. Let's send it on out the runway. Let's go back from China all the way to the great state of Kentucky. Okay, we're going to land where it's not flooded.
Speaker 1:Now this one here is a golden trout PWN segment. Oh, a little cross-platform stuff going on here A little cross-platform because they were getting hit with some floods.
Speaker 2:They knew some floods were coming, heavy rains, the Ohio River was overflowing, going over levees and just that muddy, murky water is coming into buildings. And one restaurant owner says no, says I no, sir, not here. So the restaurant intentionally flooded their own building with clean water. They went and they took out all their electronics, they took out all their appliances, they took out the tables, they set the chairs up, they stacked everything nice and neat, they turned their faucets on and clean well water. Several feet into their store they started at three feet. They flooded the inside of their store with clean water.
Speaker 2:Because big brain move, harry, pressure the inside of their building the inside of their building was full of clean water and there's a video out there of the workers in, like their waiters, walking through, and they're at the door and you can see they're recording. Outside the window is a dirty Ohio River water. It takes his camera and shines it down to his feet. It says those are my feet under three feet of water you can see at the bottom. And they said, hey, we got word that the river might be rising more, the flood might be going higher, so we're going to turn our faucets on again and bring the clean water in it's science. That is scary smart. To clean water in it's science, that is scary smart Science.
Speaker 1:Because would you want to clean up that mud?
Speaker 2:No, not at all. Yeah, that's really weird.
Speaker 1:I mean, if you're going to get water, get water. You know what I mean. It's so weird. And what happens if it didn't flood?
Speaker 2:Well, now your restaurant is behind everybody else because everybody else has, or you're smart, hop in a silverado, fill that tank up, put her in, drive I'm gonna head northeast to the great state of maryland. Okay now we've heard of old wives tales where, if your ear burns, somebody's talking about your ears ringing, somebody's talking about you. Yeah, your right palm's itchy, you're gonna meet somebody. But more importantly, harry, if your left palm is itchy, it means you're gonna come to a great sum of money. Well, maryland man said just that, that his left palm was itchy. So he decided to stop and buy himself a lottery ticket. So the baltimore man said nah, I'm shopping a giant grocery store in parkville. When his hands started itching, now for me I bet either wash it or get some Benadryl because something's going on.
Speaker 2:His name was never released, but the superstition about itchy palms meaning a large sum of money is on the way, inspired him to stop at the Maryland Lottery kiosk and buy a Keno ticket with a super bonus, because you're not going to get a Keno ticket without the super bonus. It's just obviously You're not gonna order a big mac without fries. Right? Keynote ticket, super bonus and, using a few numbers he had seen earlier in the day. I want to know how he decided those numbers, because I see a lot of numbers every day me too, too many, I guess the ones I see numbered?
Speaker 2:yeah, I guess big ones, uh, 6 and 19. I don't know. So he scanned his ticket at the lottery terminal and was shocked to learn they scored a prize so large that the readout said See lottery. He won 40 G's off of a superstition of his left palm itching.
Speaker 1:That is weird. That's creepy. Good for him, but still creepy.
Speaker 2:Superstitions are there for a reason. Good for you. Unidentified Maryland patron.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm staying unidentified if I win 10 bucks. That is weird, man. That's like chills down my spine weird.
Speaker 2:Yeah, right, so next time my palms are itching, I'm pulling over to go to the gas station and be like give me lottery tickets, give me a lottery ticket and they're like thanks for your donation. I'm like, yeah, you're right. The seniors of Louisiana.
Speaker 1:Appreciate you, hey man. Seniors love scratchers. Just seniors helping seniors. Baby, that's it, man, time to pack up the truck here. I did something fun today, oh go on. Went out to lunch. My team went out to lunch today to a bar that sells probably the best food around. Obviously, we don't drink, but we do get some really good bar food. I love bar food. Now, what do you find at bars? Pretzels, oh, and we are in the year of our Lord, 2025, and technology has come a long way.
Speaker 2:It has.
Speaker 1:You can now connect your phone to the jukebox, started off with some Creed, of course.
Speaker 2:No, you're not going to not.
Speaker 1:You're not going to not. Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith, great song. And then the six my team is all guys the six of us started talking about music and Cheryl Crow came up Okay, so I put. And Cheryl Crow came up, okay, so I put on Cheryl Crow, yeah, and they lost their minds. They said we brought it into fruition and I'm just laughing to myself because it's me, I am your fruition, I'm listening, I am. You know, we were talking about other songs and I was putting Stuff I wanted in there. You know what I mean. Yeah, little Brooks and Dunn, my Maria, you're not gonna not.
Speaker 2:Okay, sure.
Speaker 1:What's my Maria? That tickles a part of my brain, when, when, when Ronnie Hits those notes, it just tickles my brain. I don't know what it is man, it's a.
Speaker 2:it's a number one play song from 90s Country. Yeah, because it's amazing, tickles my brain. I don't know what it is man, it's the number one played song from the 90s Country. Yeah, because it's amazing. I don't know, maybe I just I appreciate the song, but I was somewhere before where it was on repeat. It felt like so kind of like you got burned out from it.
Speaker 1:but I haven't heard it in a long time. They're doing the reboot CDs and they have my Maria again. Just try it again. Different artists Maybe. I'll give it a shot, I'll try it. Uh, more creed, yes, fortune and son, great choice.
Speaker 2:And then I ended the whole thing with share.
Speaker 1:Do you believe it was so great? Is they finally go? This is one of the weirdest playlists I've ever heard and at that point I could not hold it in anymore and I said, yeah, it's because I've been picking the music the whole time we've been here. I spent $14. My wife is going to look at the bank account and be so mad that I spent $14 on a joke for just me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it's epic.
Speaker 1:It was so great.
Speaker 2:You spent $14 on dopamine.
Speaker 1:Thank you. You know what I'm going to dollars on dopamine. I thank you. You know what I'm gonna tell her that wish me luck. Yes, but good luck with that dude. It was so fun. What is one song you will never play at a bar?
Speaker 1:you gotta get the vibe first right, I'm talking about probably watering hole type place probably never play share, do you believe? Oh, dude, this is a place. Is such a cop bar too? Yeah, such a cop bar, and all of a sudden it's just share. It was actually really cool because, like, all the waitresses were singing and they were having the time of their life, because they probably don't get to hear, you know, pop music that often in that they don't get to hear good music country and rock.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean. So a little share. It went a long way. Everyone, everyone was vibing dude. I didn't think it was going to go over as well as it did, yeah you know I thought about britney spears and then I was like nah share, I at least like share I uh, I'm not ashamed to admit like I'll put anything on. It doesn't bother me really yeah, okay, so let me strike that reverse it. What is one song you're tired of hearing when you're at the bar? I have one, anything modern.
Speaker 2:I guess it makes me sound old, but like a current pop hit I don't want to hear once every 30 to 40 minutes. Okay, that's fair. Really, I don't want to hear the same song, right? Any song that you repeat, like that, I don't want to hear it. No, I get that, even if it's one of my favorite songs.
Speaker 1:You know what bar song I am so sick of? I love this bar by Toby Keith.
Speaker 2:Good song, but it made me just think of a song that I can't stand Bartender.
Speaker 1:Bartender, I really did that one, that one. Yeah, I think that's overplayed.
Speaker 2:That bar's. It's overplayed and when I was in California it was like their anthem and I'm like none of y'all are getting arrested again. Y'all are just degenerates overall.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:The current country song where the guy says he likes drinking his whiskey neat. These people that listen to it don't know what that means.
Speaker 1:Which one is that?
Speaker 2:buddy Drink my whiskey neat. What's one is that buddy Drink my whiskey neat?
Speaker 1:He's describing somebody like how he likes them you know happiness, Waking up at 3 pm. Yeah, hozier, you're talking about Hozier. He's not country, he's alternative, I guess.
Speaker 2:Oh okay, Hozier Hozier. I should have thought that he's Canadian, so it makes sense.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, is he that makes sense, yeah, uh, oh, is he that makes? I don't know, hosier's just a slang term for canadian. I thought so is it canadian? Yeah, I don't know if he is, and I never met the guy is that a bad word? Or is that?
Speaker 1:no, john candy said it all the time oh, okay, if john candy said it, we're fine. Yeah, I just uh, there's a couple songs that I was like. Nah, I, I think I'm going to step out and get some fresh air.
Speaker 2:So when I was in Korea, what was awesome is they didn't have the touch tunes because so many things were pirated. Okay, the bars pirated a lot of stuff. So you go in there and you'd all take dibs on YouTube. That was it. Dibs on YouTube, dibs on whatever player. Some places had like a scrolling list, like pick a song, and they would have every song in alphabetical order. So you're sitting there trying to scroll but you take turns on YouTube and I remember this was probably about 10 years ago now we were all in there and a certain song came on and a bunch of us grown men start singing along and I stopped at the end of the song and I said listen, 15, 16 year old us would see us. Now they would try and fight us. And everybody said why? I was like? Because when I was 15 I avoided backstreet boys and instinct with a passion. But here I am in my 30s going. I'm yelling to the top of my lungs. I want it that way.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Right, a hundred percent. I made it a point younger, late twenties, early mid thirties, as soon as I go in a bar, I'm going to the touchstone Jaber and I would go out. You know my good buddy in California. We'd go out and we'd find the hole in the wall. It didn't matter. We went to a, went into an age, our age bar. We've gone to every different ones. We find touchstones and we're putting 10 bucks in there and just I'm skipping you.
Speaker 1:I'm putting songs on.
Speaker 2:Yes, I love skipping and we realized you do that and you got to play the party anthems and jay bryan would walk in there and we're getting free drinks. We have new best friends. We have people wanting to hang out with us, right, you put in a little. Uh, don't stop believing is one of them. Friends in low places played out. But friends in low places, you gotta get the sing-along songs, right, yes, sweet caroline.
Speaker 2:And then you put some. You get a couple apple juices in you and then you start putting more on and next, you know, jay, we're standing on the table singing everybody and we're having a great time. Yeah, heck, yeah. Bars are always interesting when there's music involved, because you get to meet new people oh yeah you know the one.
Speaker 2:One of the places we went to I don't understand the concept here, but the men's room. So there's a line, and outside the men's room was a piano. Yeah, the upright piano is like pop used to have. And so you're standing there and everybody just says I'm ding, ding. Yeah, you hit a couple of keys, why looked? And the guy in front of me we're also looking at a piano, and if you've seen the movie big yes, yes.
Speaker 2:Chopsticks Dun dun dun. So we both just randomly started dun dun dun dun, dun, dun dun dun dun and we changed the tune Dun, and we're looking at each other like I don't know this guy. I've never seen this guy again in my life, but something about that moment probably because we had to go to the bathroom real bad, dun dun dun dun and we're playing'm like. I just thought I was like I'll never do this again, like I've already lost beat. But like you know, it was when it was like sweet high fives, go put something on a jukebox.
Speaker 1:There's a song I love on apple juice and a song I can't stand because it got so played out Tennessee whiskey during the day. Turn it off, I'm tired of hearing that song. A couple apple juices. That's a song for the angels right like if I'm, it depends on what I'm I got in my hand and what I'm doing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, sometimes suzy q sounds like a really good song, that like I can jam out to that sometimes a little. Uh, marshall tucker band all right, I'm in marshall tucker other times and sinking backstreet boys on backback and I'm going to be singing them. Actually, put all five of those songs in a row and I'll be fine.
Speaker 1:But really to me it just depends on the mood. All I know is that you've been on fire. You've been on fire with hiding song titles throughout the episode. Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes it's not. The 83rd highest-selling album in the United States is Creedence Clearwater Revival Chronicle 20 Greatest Hits. I helped you out with Fortunate Son. As a matter of fact, I did truly play it at the bar. That was not a fill in for the show and the last one sneaking it in there. Susie Q.
